Background: Cardiovascular diseases, apart from commonly known risk factors, are related to inflammation. There are several simple novel markers proposed to present the relation between inflammatory reactions activation and atherosclerotic changes. They are easily available from whole blood count and include neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte to lymphocyte ratio (MLR), and platelets to lymphocyte ratio (PLR). The RDW results were excluded from the analysis. Method and results: The study based on retrospective single-centre analysis of 682 consecutive patients (131 (19%) females and 551 (81%) males) with median age of 66 years (60–71) who underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) procedure. During the median 5.3 +/− 1.9 years follow-up, there was a 87% cumulative survival rate. The laboratory parameters including preoperative MLR > 0.2 (HR 2.46, 95% CI 1.33–4.55, p = 0.004) and postoperative NLR > 3.5 (HR 1.75, 95% CI 1.09–2.79, p = 0.019) were found significant for long-term mortality prediction in multivariable analysis. Conclusion: Hematological indices NLR and MLR can be regarded as significant predictors of all-cause long-term mortality after OPCAB revascularization. Multivariable analysis revealed preoperative values of MLR > 0.2 and postoperative values of NLR > 3.5 as simple, reliable factors which may be applied into clinical practice for meticulous postoperative monitoring of patients in higher risk of worse prognosis.

Background and aim: Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death around the world. Coronary artery bypass grafting offers efficient surgical revascularization for ischemic disease. Both on- or off-pump coronary artery bypass methods provide promising results to octogenarians, once complete vascularization is achieved. However, off-pump bypass requires a certain level of experience to achieve sufficient results. We have applied an off-pump coronary artery bypass-first strategy to all generations since 2008. This study investigated early and long-term results of surgical revascularization for octogenarians by a team with an off-pump-first strategy. Methods: All cases of isolated coronary artery bypass grafting performed since 2008 were identified and divided into a young group (age <80 years) and an old group (age >=80 years). Peri-operative results were investigated retrospectively in both groups and long-term results for the old group were assessed. Results: Among the 707 patients, 97% underwent off-pump bypass, and 94 cases were classified to the old group. Distal anastomoses and ventilator time were identical between groups (young vs. old: 3.3 vs. 3.2; 3.7 h vs. 3.7 h). In-hospital death rates were 0.5% and 0% in the young and old groups, respectively. With a mean follow-up of 1318 days, actual 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates for octogenarians were 92.1%, 81.2% and 68.3%, respectively. Nearly half of the patients reached their nineties, which was close to the life expectancy of the national general octogenarian. Conclusions: An experienced team with an off-pump-first strategy could provide valid therapeutic options for octogenarians.
